This is a photograph of an Antrim team who played Down in Newcastle in 1959, sent to us by one of our deicated photographers, Bert Trowlen. Bert has been informed that there were 4500 at the game and that Down won 4-9 to 1-3.

I’m giving away my age but I recognise Jim McCorry from Glenavy and Colum O’Loan and Liam Forde from my Glenravel days. How many can you recognise.
